Graduating NEXT WEEK! I had the chance to share a few thoughts in this year’s commencement video interview — feeling so grateful for the mentors, students, and colleagues who have shaped this journey.
It’s been a wild, beautiful ride. Can’t wait to celebrate and step into what’s next! ๐ซ๐ถ

@theverdichorus Bella Bellini Concert this weekend! Come one come all! @darlingdivajmc sounds like a dream! And @cbramsey sings a lot of loud high notes. Who wouldn’t want to spend the weekend with us?!

I cannot wait to open this sold-out run of Le nozze di Figaro tomorrow! โ

When she left, she was like a cloud in the morning, scattered andโ

As I embark on a new production of Le Nozze di Figaro with Opera Santa Barbara, I feel a wave of nostalgia. In October, I had the incredible opportunity to showcase the unforgettable "Habanera" in Opera SLO's rendition of Carmen. Join me as I reflect on this remarkable experience!โ

Forever grateful to @OperaSantaBarbara for taking a chance on me and casting me as Ino in Semele back in Jan 2022. That production was a dream come true and a pivotal moment in my journey as an artist. ๐โ
โ
I'm so EXCITED to be returning to this incredible company to perform Marcellina in Le Nozze di Figaro at the end of this month with my fabulous husband @cbramsey and bringing back our wonderful director from Semele @saraewidzer! ๐ฅ๐ถโ
โ
Thank you for believing in me and creating a space for singers to grow and shine. I can’t wait to get back on that stage and share this timeless masterpiece with all of you. ๐๏ธ

โจ There’s a line in the operatic repertoire that gives me chills every time I sing it. ๐ถ It’s not just about the notes; it's the emotion that wraps around you, haunting yet beautiful, elegant yet raw. Must the Winter has the power to transport me and anyone listening into a world of snowy tundras and deep, dark emotions. Here's hoping one day I'll have the honor of performing this entire opera!โ

What a joy to sing this for once (instead of my amazing husband @cbramsey who usually rocks this out).
Thank you so much @charlestonsymphonyorchestra for an amazing Messiah experience.
And I got to reconnect with two of the best people in this business @conductorwm and @gracekahlsoprano. Life is good for this baby mezzo ๐

Excited to bring Hansel’s Messiah to Charleston with the @charlestonsymphonyorchestra and my good friend @conductorwm (who I haven’t seen in 8 years!… thanks for the reminder…)
Come see us December 5, 6 & 8 all over the Charleston area!

*๐ขSoundOn* Does not wisdom call?…
This weekend I had the pleasure of premiering this gorgeous piece by @danielgeemusic with the ever fantastic students from @westmontmusic, including many of my own students. The text interweaves St. Augustine’s Confessions and text from Proverbs in a beautiful dialogue between faith and wisdom. This excerpt is the entrance of wisdom recitation.

Mezzo’s first Carmen AHH! ๐๐ป
